Housebuilding has always
been the book of choice for prospective home builders and, with this
extensive revision by LightSpeed Publishing, it continues to be a
resource readers will depend on for years to come. In addition to
showcasing 800 new full-color illustrations and more than 50
color photographs, an improved two-column design makes the text easier
to follow. Photo captions—not in previous editions—allow readers to
browse through quickly. Also included for the first time: a chapter on
environmentally friendly building alternatives; increased emphasis on
safety; information on modern cordless tools; updated techniques,
materials, and standards; energy-efficient options, from structural
insulated panels to radiant floor heating; a current appendix of major
manufacturers, resources, and Web sites; and much, much more. This is a complete guide for the 21st Century.
